Dieting is no fun. It's a vicious cycle we find ourselves in a lot and usually ends in stuffing our faces with a pizza delivery and pints of ice cream. So, instead, we've opted to substitute the things we love to eat with healthier, fresher options. The idea is, if we still find the healthier food we eat tasty, we'll never have to deprive ourselves again. A full-on lifestyle change is what we're looking to do now—good health and wellness starts with good food choices.

Look! I made a pie! I've never made one, but it seemed simple enough to try, so I gave it a go. A simple dessert, yes, but easy? Not so much! From cooling to peeling to cutting to baking...this pie took me all day. But it was definitely worth the hard work. It turned out beautifully and was delicious! I referenced two different recipes—the pastry was perfectly flaky and the filling was just the right amounts of sweet and spice. And though it did take some time, attempting all of the cool little details was so my thing. I’m pretty happy with my first pie! Will I attempt it again? Probably not, but getting some nice photos out of it was well worth it.

It was Thanksgiving yesterday. We're still getting used to the holiday coming around so much earlier than it does in the states, but who am I to say no to pumpkin pies and baked goods in October? So I thought I'd bake something to get us in the Thanksgiving spirit.

Yet another quick and easy whip up of something to help curb this sweet tooth. Quick and easy—a recurring theme in my food lately, as most of my time and attention is focused on Margot these days. Because only so much time can go to snacks and meals, I like to keep ingredients and steps to a minimum. This yogurt bark checks off on both. These turned out to be really refreshing treats. The crunch of the pistachios and the tangy sweetness of the cranberries are the perfect combo for the mild, just sweet enough bark. So easy and delicious!

I made these quick little bites to hold us down each day. They're really great snacks for when you get hungry in between meals as they are really filling and are way better alternatives to stuffing your face with what you're actually craving. There are only 5 ingredients and no baking is required—a perfect sweet little bite!
